Abstract
We propose a new nonrelativistic Pauli-type equation where some specific small relativistic terms are retained. With the confining potentials V(x) approximated by the polynomials Vm(x)=g0x2++gmx2m+2, gm>0, the nonzero kinematical corrections TmT0, where Tm=h0p2++hmp2m+2T =(μ2c4+p2c2)12μc2, are added to the anharmonic-oscillator Schrödinger equation, so that the px symmetry typical for a harmonic-oscillator Hamiltonian is restored. As a consequence of this semirelativistic regularization, the analytic diagonalization of an entirely anharmonic Hamiltonian Hmm=Tm+Vm in terms of the m×m-matrix continued fractions is obtained. Both the auxiliary fractions and the eigenstates converge very quickly. In the cases of the bounded spectrum of Hmm (m=2q), it is proved exactly for q=1, 2, and 3 and conjectured for q4.
